# Agent

Every **`Agent`** has 2 main functionalities associated with it -

### As Schedulers

1. **`Agents`** are the main entities responsible for executing the job schedules.
2. Each agent can handle multiple job types. For example - Scanning Anypoint Runtime Applications, Performing health ckecks for configured endpoints
3. Multiple **`Agents`** can be started on different machines and one of the **`Agent`** will be chosen as a `master`

### As Workers

1. While Schedulers schedule the job at configured interval, workers execute the jobs
2. Workers can execute the jobs in parallel and it concurrency factor is determined by **`Total Workers`** parameter.
3. To view the workers status, navigate to **`Global Settings`** -> **`Agents`** and click on **`View Workers`** 
   1. **`Free`** status indicates that the worker is free and ready to pickup new job executions
   2. **`Executing`** status indicates that the worker is busy executing a job

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/integral-zone/iz-suite/iz-core/agent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
